Aral Balkan, champion of open-source flash, just annouced a Flash / Flex extension to the Google App Engine called GAE SWF. He also announced that KitchenSync will be a part of it. I’m very excited to see what happens with both projects.

Woo! KitchenSync v1.1 is out! It now supports timecode, default values, new easing functions and juping to a specific time in a tween. Go check it out!

Changes in 1.1:

  • ADDED jumpToTime() method to Tween (this may be moved to AbstractSynchronizedAction in a later release)
  • ADDED getTimestampFromFrames() and getTimestampFromMilliseconds() to TimestampUtil
  • ADDED Timecode to TimeStringParser. Now “:ss”, “mm:ss;ff”, and “dd:hh:mm:ss;ff” are supported.
  • ADDED ActionDefaults class for storing default initialization values.
  • ADDED easeOutIn() to most of the easing functions (buggy. seems to overshoot target in some cases)
  • ADDED version check in Synchronizer.initialize()
  • CHANGED type of Numbers within Timestamp to int.
  • REFACTORED all actions to contain super() in the constructor.
  • REMOVED errors that are thrown when pause() and start() are called at the wrong times.
